An annual survey of area residents, the Best of Western Washington poll identifies peoples’ favorite places and things by their votes. Salish Cliffs ranked highest among on-course golf shops, also ranking in the top echelon of area golf courses this year.

On the national stage, Golf Vacation Insider bestowed Salish Cliffs and Little Creek with Platinum status – the highest-rated tier of casino and golf resorts in America. Winners were selected based on a weighted, statistical formula combining Golf Digest, Golfweek and GOLF Magazine rankings with user-review sources like TripAdvisor, Yelp! and social media sites.
“The Squaxin Island Tribe committed to provide its resort guests with first-class recreational amenities,” Kass said. “That Golf Vacation Insider’s formula finds our golf course, hotel, restaurants, spa and casino among the finest in the United States shows that the tribe’s commitment is being met.”
